Servings: 6
Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 red delicious apple
- 1 eggplant
- 1 red onion
- 10 ounces pre-cooked chicken Italian sausage (1 package)
- 8 ounces Halloumi cheese (1 package)
Instructions
- Whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, basil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.¼ cup olive oil, ¼ cup balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried basil, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper
- Cut the apple, eggplant, sausage, onion, and cheese into approximately 1 inch chunks.1 red delicious apple, 1 eggplant, 10 ounces pre-cooked chicken Italian sausage, 8 ounces Halloumi cheese, 1 red onion
- Pour about ¾ of the dressing in the bowl and toss to coat. (Save the rest for drizzling or dipping when serving.)
- Thread the chunks of apple, eggplant, sausage, and cheese on skewers, in any order desired.
- Preheat the grill to medium high. Place on the grill and cook, about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften and the sausage browns.
Notes
- To cook these without firing up the grill, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F, then place the kebabs on a baking sheet (or skip the skewers altogether and just place all the chunks in a single layer on the baking sheet) and bake for 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
- For even more flavor, after costing the sausage, cheese, and vegetable chunks with dressing, let them sit in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes to marinate.
- Serve with a fresh salad, couscous, or grilled vegetables.
- For added variety, offer some additional dipping sauces on the side, such as tzatziki, barbecue sauce, or a spicy chili sauce.
